The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop. The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below: Standard Job Motor tune-up Standard Hours 1.50 Rate $6.20 Standard Cost $9.30 The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 230 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups: F Labor rate variance Labor spending variance $318 $829 Required: 1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week. Actual labor hours hours 2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Actual hourly rate per hour
Labour efficiency variance = 829+318 = 1,147 U
1) Labour efficiency variance = (Standard hour-actual hour) Standard rate
-1,147 = (230*1.5*6.2-6.2X)
-1,147 = 2,139-6.2X
6.2X = 3,286
X (actual hours) = 530 Hours
2) Labour price variance = (Standard rate-actual rate) actual hours
318 = (6.2*530-530X)
318 = 3,286-530X
530X = 3,286-318
530X =2,968
X (Actual rate per hour) = 5.6 per hour
